subject: Barricaded area security

I have a baricaded area that requires FAVORED privlege for access.
The .pwd file has a password that will cause the privlege to be set and that 
works ok.
I also have my name in the .pwd file...ie...Ken Vandergriff...
and that states that the privlege should be set to sysop.  When *I*
 attach to the barricaded area, I don't have to enter the password.
 
Here is the problem:  One of my users was trying to hack into the area and he 
tried using  KEN as the password.  According to the log file the system 
changed his privlege level to TWIT but he still got into the area.  The menue 
for TWIT has only Goodbye for an option but by hitting the enter key the user 
could still read all of the messages in that area.
 
My question:  How can I fix this so I don't have to enter a password to get 
into that area but other users do and other users can not read the messages 
there unless they have the correct password?
 
I want this area set up so that even first time callers can get in if and 
only if they know the correct password.
